Per the streamer’s parent company, Paramount Global, the Texas-set series’ pilot has seen a whopping 35 million global  streaming viewers since its debut in November 2024.

That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. After all, the drama’s co-creator is Taylor Sheridan, acclaimed writer and producer behind wildly popular series like Yellowstone, Tulsa King, and Lioness.

The series stars Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris, a savvy landman who oversees an oil patch for tycoon Monty Miller (Jon Hamm). As co-creator Christian Wallace told Entertainment Weekly ahead of the show’s premiere, what makes Landman unique is that, unlike predecessors like Dallas, it aims to depict “both the working class and the white-collar world” of the oil industry.

Season 1 wrapped back in January, and fans are clamoring to return to its West Texas oilfields. So, will there be a second season of Landman? When does it premiere? And what will it be about? Read on as we answer those questions and more. Here’s everything we know about Landman season 2.

Will there be a Landman season 2?

Yes, Landman was renewed for a second season in March 2025, with Paramount touting it as the most popular original series to debut on the streamer.

Prior to the renewal, Thornton expressed his hope to EW for a second season. “I had a fun time on this one and it’d be a nice one to do,” he said. “I mean, you’d kind of like to at least do a couple of something to get people used to it.”

How did Landman season 1 end?

Landman‘s season 1 finale found Tommy being put in charge of M*Tex Oil since Monty is at death’s door due to a faulty ticker. Monty’s wife, Cami (Demi Moore), meanwhile, is also poised to be a bigger part of the business, with Tommy appointing her to the board.

While working with Cami to close a lucrative “farm-out deal,” Tommy is abducted by Galino drug cartel member Jimenez (Alex Meraz). The cartel is incensed over Tommy bringing the National Guard into the region, resulting in the death of one of their own. They torture Tommy as payback.

Tommy is saved, however, by Galino himself (played by Andy Garcia). Galino is unhappy with how Jimenez is running his territory, and thinks Tommy can help the cartel get into the oil business.

The episode ends with Monty flatlining in the hospital as Cami and their daughters cry for him.

So, wait, Monty’s really dead?

It sure seems like it. It’s certainly a surprise, what with the wattage that Emmy-winning Mad Men alum Hamm brought to the series.

In a postmortem with TV Insider, Wallace spoke of Monty as if he’d passed. Reflecting on Cami’s bigger role in season 2, he said, “I think Demi’s character in this first season was kind of playing a little bit of second fiddle to Monty, at least in his role as the president of M-Tex Oil.”

Wallace continued, “He’s the one that’s calling the shots and has to make these big decisions, and so he’s really the one that’s thrust in the fire and is honestly kind of trying to shield his family from the stress that he’s experiencing, which ultimately plays a role in his demise… And so his passing is kind of an incredible opportunity for Cami to play a bigger role in this world.”

What is Landman season 2 about?

While an official plot synopsis has yet to be shared by Paramount+, there are plenty of lingering questions posed by the Landman season 1 finale.

First, how will Tommy fare as the new president of M*Tex? And what does that portend for its future?

In an April 2025 interview with Deadline, Thornton discussed how Tommy and Cami will be working closely together in season 2. “Since she doesn’t really know the oil business that well, I’m there with her to show her how these people operate,” he said. “You can know something intellectually but what are the street smarts behind it? I know how to deal with these people she’s going to have to deal with.
